I'm spit-balling here, but I suspect the problem is that
TimedRotatingFileHandler was probably not designed to have multiple
instances of it in different processes all trying to rotate the same
file. Yet that's the situation you have since each subprocess in your
process pool creates its own handler instance.
I've not used it myself, but I believe that this is effectively the
problem that QueueHandler and QueueListener were created to solve:
https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/logging.handlers.html#queuehandler
The parent process should create a queue and a QueueListener to
service that queue, using the TimedRotatingFileHandler. Each
subprocess should log to the queue using QueueHandler instead. This
way the actual log file is only handled by one process.
